Jadas, a scientist, has already succeeded in genetically modifying two apes and is now working on humans while also trying to find out more about his father, a leading scientist. He discovers that all is not as it seems and his whole life is a lie.

At the same time, an Ebola-type disease slowly spreads around the world and forces are working to use Jadas to create an antidote but with mind-altering consequences.

Intelligent writing and very good illustrations make this a joy to read.
